Page Comparison

Astun have set up a National Address Search web service, which is based on the standard Address Search Request used by iShare. The National Address Search service has been populated with national coverage of Address Base AddressBase® Premium data. At present it is provided on a beta service

This service is hosted by an EC2 Instance using an iShareData Astun database as a Data Share and an osdata database as the source. The data is then scheduled to refresh at a chosen day and time.

Usage

Customers will be provided with a dedicated endpoint which allows Astun to manage and track access via an API Gateway:

https://services.astuntechnology.com/v1/yourcouncil-gov-uk/data/addressbase/locationsearch?

The endpoint will be configured with basic authentication based on those used in the iShare FIS GIS Print to PDF and WPS service requests.

...

Requests are made in the following form (for example searching on the postcode NW1 6XE)

https://go.yourcouncil.gov.uk/nlpgservices.astuntechnology.com/v1/yourcouncil-gov-uk/data/addressbase/locationsearch?pagesize=10&startnum=1&location=NW1%206XE

...

Performing this request will return JSON formatted results with all the first N addresses contained within that postcode (N being the pagesize, in this case 10).

NOTE: In the above examples, spaces are not necessary in the postcode, and searches with NW16XE will also work. Results can become a bit more spurious with other spacing. For example whilst "215 NW1 6XE" identifies the specific property, but "215 NW 16 XE" returns all properties in the postcode.

Without Postcode

Where postcode is not known or is only partially known the search engine will aim to identify the best fit possible, as per the examples below.

There is however no further "intelligence" in the search matching. For example if the search is done on Baker Road London (which does not exist), it would not consider Baker Street to be a better match, but would prefer addresses that included the word "Baker" and "Road" in the address string, as per the example below (which returns multiple other addresses).

Other Examples

Using Postcode

The search algorithm is based on string matching, but with preference given to the postcode substring. For best results, the full postcode should always be used where possible and known, in combination with another unique element of the address string. As per the examples below

NOTE: In the above examples, spaces are not necessary in the postcode, and searches with NW16XE will also work. Results can become a bit more spurious with other spacing. For example whilst "215 NW1 6XE" identifies the specific property, but "215 NW 16 XE" returns all properties in the postcode.

Without Postcode

Where postcode is not known or is only partially known the search engine will aim to identify the best fit possible, as per the examples below.

There is however no further "intelligence" in the search matching. For example if the search is done on Baker Road London (which does not exist), it would not consider Baker Street to be a better match, but would prefer addresses that included the word "Baker" and "Road" in the address string, as per the example below (which returns multiple other addresses).

Integration and IP Whitelisting

As added security Astun would intend to restrict the above endpoint by IP address and whitelist queries from either (i) the Council network or (ii) the hosted CRM platform. This would depend on the integration implementation - i.e. whether queries are direct from the user's browser (e.g. JavaScript calls direct to our web service), or via the CRM server (proxy). Basic authentication would only be suitable for proxy requests, as credentials should not be embedded in JavaScript code or entered by users. Further discussion is required between Astun and Walsall / CRM provider.

Licensing

The Council is responsible for ensuring that any contractors are fully compliant with OS Licensing arrangements for Address Base AddressBase Premium and legal obligations from those license licence arrangements. The service should only be used for Council specific work, and not for any other address searches by the contractors with whom the Council are engaged.

Future enhancements

Over the course of the beta period Astun may wish to introduce:

...

An upper limit to the pagesize of inbound requests;

...

Additional request monitoring tools;
